My Violent Egocome back after 8 years with a new album that collects their EPs produced before and after "Carried-Along-By-Fate", full lenght album dated 2003,released via the French record label Ocean Music.

Now fully remastered, "One day you'll laugh at the sad saga That Was" contains a selection of tracks from LìtostEP, Feel Yr Sleep(2001), Rejected by Fate (2003), and the collection of demos that was released in 2005 in internet under the title of Clicks & Hisses, - thay same EP that was later 'stolen' by the black metal band from Portland, Velvet Cacoon, and widespread on the Internet with their name, before getting caught. My Violent Ego is not a black-metal band. They sound dreampop music, shoegaze, bliss-out: guitar-driven melodies, devoted to Christy Brewster's seraphic voice. For fans of 4AD, Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, Lovesliescrushing, My Bloody Valentine, Mahogany... Ruth Veln Kiss. And of black metal.

My ViolentEgo is the name of the musical affinity between ChristyBrewster and Paolo Miceli.

She from Edinburgh, Scotland, him from Rome, Italy, distant neighbors thanks to the Internet, - it all began in 2001 when they met on the forerunner mp3.com, and began to exchange music recordings via digital and mail. Never vis-à-vis for years, they released two self-produced EPs, until the official debut on the French record label Ocean-Music in January 2003, - Carried-along-by-fate, - to be distributed in the U.S. by Tonevendor and Projekt rec, as well as in Italy by Venus dischi.

Promotional tours in 2003 and 2004, several collaborations with the Giardini di Mirò (Paolo records for them a version of A new start for shoegazing kids, featured in Songs for Broken Hearts and Asses and a vinyl 10" for Love Boat rec, while Christy sings on several tracks in Dividing Opinions and Punk.. No Diet..!), featured in the mixtapes of Best Kept Secret rec and Hoboken rec, My Violent Ego take a break in 2005 during the recordings of Clicks & Hisses in France, only to find themselves again ‘distant neighbors’ in 2009, for what will be scheduled in Fall 2011 as the new chapter of My Violent Ego, titled You might find your self.

Paolo Miceli (RUTH VELN KISS, KINSKI) iscurrentlyguitarist in a shoegaze band called Sea Dweller (2&1 records), and Christy Brewster, together with her sister Kaye, released an album via Ocean-Music rec under the monicker of Violet’s Revenge.

OUT SOON:SOHO WHAT - The First Impression Last[SR_o3]CD | Ltd 3oo copies

This crazy new project is the brainchild of Rudi Van Mad, cult figure of the well known exp-collective called Larsen Lombriki.

This debut album plays w/ genres - with huge attitude and very little respect for musical integralism. Ranging from Pop music ---> to less FM-oriented things [Snakefinger, Swell Maps, The Fall, Neu and The Residents] in a sort of bizarre work-in-progress.1o great songs of un-classificable stuff, combining a "free form" approach to more structured parts in sort of dada weird-wave.The review that Julian Cope wrote _on his site Head Heritage_ about a promo copy of this record, said:"Singular in a very Electro-Buzzsaw manner is THE FIRST IMPRESSION LAST by Soho What, whose catchy bastard post-punk toons blaze along Chrome-esque shock corridors into intertwining cul de sacs of 39 Clocks- and Metal Urbain-isms, while Transatlantic Faust-style lead vocals conjure up Electric Manchakou sub-sub-French Detroitisms, know wharramean? Imagine A Certain Ratio’s classic ‘All Night Party’ 45 performed over a rhythm of Devo’s ‘Satisfaction’, or maybe the autobahn’n’ice-rink motorik of the Stones’ ‘Shattered’ and yooz reaching the Soho What pleasure centre. Top marks, however, go to the snarling epic ‘She Said’, with its snidey Howard Devoto-meets-Barney Albrecht matter-of-fact vocal and hectic HALF MACHINE LIP MOVES-style Cleveland No Wave machine gun riffing. Hailing from Italy, Soho What is run by one Rodolfo Borsella, who has very little presence on the ‘worldwide’, but – for his classy hybrid of Cleveland, No York, De Twat and London – really should be searched by those interested souls".
